There is no denying similarities to the W222 S-class rear design. Actually, they rear lights look practically identical which is somewhat of an odd decision by Mercedes to blen the S and C class rears so closely. Regardless, the design works incredibly well and the rear of the car is beautiful.

The front light design takes cues from E-Class so it would seem Mercedes blended the two designs together. The danger here is that the cars in the lineup may start to look too similar to one another. This is a problem Audi has struggled with as of late.

Hopefully Mercedes reveals the car officially soon. It is shaping up quite well.

The S and C have always been very similar. I think its a ploy to make C Class buyers feel a little better about their purchases. Hell, the W204 was the biggest departures from that. I like this mostly, do wish the tails were more distinctive. I bet it will look good with an AMG body and wheels

This definitely seems like the closest yet, although already the more I look at the 205 this week the more I can already distinguish the details in the front pretty easily. However, that side profile and rear end are pretty much identical. Maybe a bit lazy...but it is a good look.

It's a great look and the car looks far more upscale than anything else in its class. The front for me is easy to distinguish because as a car guy I pay attention to those details but the rear is not easy and I'm someone who pays close attention.

Right. I wonder how many times I'm going to see an "S-Class" and it turns out to be a C from the rear. I think it is interesting how different all three design languages are from BMW, Mercedes, and Audi. The W222 looks damn good with an AMG package, not frumpy at all. I hope its the same for this. The M3/M4 are some of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen, hopefully the new C55/63/whatever they call it looks as good.

Has anybody noticed that Mercedes saved weight of this car in a really stupid place?
They saved some of that 100kg of weight by shrinking the gastank from 59 to 41 liters.
Thus saving (when 90% full as regulations require) 11,7 kg on catalog weight.
41 liters is 10.8 gallons total gas tank volume
That will keep you busy driving from gas station to gas station...
